Jumpsuits and me haven’t ever really got along. I have a big bum, which tends to play havoc with the straight up-straight down shape that most jumpsuits sport. Most don’t really give any credit to the waist, which is what…

The Ancient Ruins, Pompeii
Although I’ve never been much of a history buff (I think I have a very poor general knowledge when it comes to past events), the Ancient Romans and in particular the tragic story of Pompeii has always fascinated me. The…
Four Extraordinary Day Dates in London
Of all the bizarre rules that exist around dating, perhaps the most bizarre is the idea that the best dates take place in the evening. After all, many of us feel at our best during the day when we’re fresh…
A Shift With A Twist
As someone who has always been a little conscious of my stomach area, shift dresses have always been the favourite go-to shape of choice when it comes to picking out the fit. I’ve become ever so slightly more adventurous since losing…
Living With IBS
My last IBS post was all the way back in May (which you can read here if you fancy), when I went through a rather painful procedure to get to the bottom of my symptoms (no related pun intended). It…
Roses only… please!
There’s something really lovely about treating someone you love with flowers, especially if they’re roses! Men never seem to quite get the hint when you say this to them – so I’ve tended to just do the whole flower thing for…

Grand Hotel La Favorita, Sorrento
As someone who spends far too much time on Pinterest, pouring over pictures of beautiful places in the world – Sorrento, in Italy – very nearly had it’s own ‘board’ entirely on my profile. Set in the cliff-face, overlooking the bay…
Arriving in Naples
After setting off at 4am (for our 6am flight), we finally arrived in Naples at around 9am local time. Although our main focus of the trip was on Sorrento, we wanted to break things up a bit and stop off…
Palazzo Caracciolo Napoli, Naples
If you’ve been following my Instagram or Twitter recently, you may have noted that I’ve been on something of an Italian adventure over the last few weeks. Italy is one of my favourite parts of the world and it’s always…
